Bob:

A gentleman by the name of Ron Florence periodically publishes a very 
comprehensive Haying FAQ on newsgroups alt.agriculture.misc, sci.agriculture, 
and misc.rural.  I believe he has an FTP site too, but I don't have the 
information at my disposal right now.  Some of the Web search tools that are 
out there give you the option of searching newsgroup archives, so you should 
be able to find this without too much problem.

Hope this helps,
Steve Offiler
